How sure are you on the age? The darker patches on the wings sure make me think male, but if the age is correct it should have lots more male characteristics. I'm thinking the bird is younger and male, but better/closer pics would help.

He/she is at least 4 months. I'll see if I can get a better picture.

One more thing: He/she is pretty timid, and gets hen-pecked by some of the girls. But the big buff orpington rooster (its daddy) doesn't bother it at all.

Here are 5 more slightly better pictures of our 4 to 4 1/2 month-old peep. I hope these make gender i.d. easier. She/he is the sweetest little thing, always on the periphery of the group of girls. The daddy rooster (buff orpington) ignores her/him, as does the mom (EE).
